    I found a old pocket watch from the 1800s, and it has some inscription inside it. And i would really like to know what it says, hoping to find someone who can help me, i dont even know if it is french, but i belive it is.

    the inscription says:
    Anchel
    Lovèes (maybe Lovus) visibles
    Double Plateau
    Spiral Breguet
    15 Rubies

    i would be so glad for any help!
    :)

    it seems you are the happy owner of an ancient Breguet Watch, probably something very valuable.
    For the translation, I don't know what means Anchel and Lovèes or Lovus but it is probably the model of the watch.
    Then, they continue with technical informations (maybe a little difficult for me)
    Double plateau could be translated by Double board.
    Spiral mean what it means in English (probably the system of the watch) and Breguet is the brand name.
    15 rubies are the gems on this watch.

    I hope I could help you.

    Peace
